This study aimed to improve student learning outcomes by integrating an interactive response system (IRS) and deliberate practice (DP) into a Level Design for Games course. Previously, this theory-and-practice course was lecture-oriented, emphasized game level design and its application, and offered...

BackgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. Although numerous observational studies have explored candidate biomarkers, the causal contributions of circulating plasma proteins to DR pathogenesis remain largely unclear due to confounding and reverse causality.Meth...

Maternal auxin signaling inhibits seed germination in Arabidopsis, but little is known about the gene network that mediates the inhibition of seed germination by auxin. Based on publicly available data, we first determined the expression patterns of AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX (AFB) genes in the funiculus...

Computational photography has been a new research focus over the last two decades. Most of the computational imaging applications involve pixel-to-pixel correspondence adjustment between the spatial light modulator and the sensor. In this study, an accuracy pixel-to-pixel alignment method with six-a...

IntroductionIn educational settings, the role of neuroplasticity in shaping cognitive development has gained increasing attention. Traditional pedagogical models often fail to capture the dynamic neural adaptations that underlie effective learning. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel approach tha...

Abstract: Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) and associated analytic technologies, we have cataloged and compared 7 069 unique wheat proteins expressed during four substages of the filling stage. Among them, 859 are differentially expressed, showing at least a 2-fol...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a devastating infectious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals. Differentiating FMD from other vesicular diseases is difficult based on only clinical symptoms, requiring an appropriate laboratory diagnostic test. The double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA is a reliable...

This research aimed to improve selection of pepper seeds for separating high-quality seeds from low-quality seeds. Past research has shown that seed vigor is significantly related to the seed color and size, thus several physical features were identified as candidate predictors of high seed quality....

Identifying and selecting high-quality seeds is crucial for improving crop yield. The purpose of this study was to improve the selection of crop seeds based on separating vital seeds from dead seeds, by predicting the potential germination ability of each seed, and thus improving seed quality. The m...
